[Sea to Sky Summit - Organic and Bioorganic Chem @seatoskysummit]

We want to acknowledge the graduate students, postdocs, professors, and industry representatives who attended our inaugural meeting and helped make it such a great success!

Thank you for contributing to our goal of strengthening the network of organic chemists across British Columbia and fostering new collaborations between academia and industry. 🇨🇦

Whether in the format of an oral or poster presentation, everyone displayed professionalism and passion as they shared their recent contributions to the fields of organic and bioorganic chemistry. Excellent discussion was had within each session as attendees exchanged ideas and advanced the frontiers of scientific research.

It was our pleasure to host you this past weekend and we can't wait to run it back in 2028!

(Special thanks to @CapilanoU in Squamish for hosting us)

✨Welcome to the 'Sea to Sky Summit' on Organic & Bioorganic Chemistry!✨

We’re excited to launch the official Twitter(X)-page for a student-led chemistry conference bringing together leading researchers, BC-based faculty, and industrial scientists for an immersive weekend at the frontiers of synthetic organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Sea-to-Sky corridor, the Summit will take place at Capilano University in Squamish, BC — a retreat-style setting surrounded by mountains, forests, and world-class trails. It’s the perfect environment for focused science, meaningful conversations, and building lasting connections across academia and industry.

Our scientific program will highlight advances in:
🔬 Small-molecule & natural product synthesis
⚗️ Catalyst and reaction design
🧠 Mechanistic discovery
🧬 Chemical biology & translational research

Follow along for speaker announcements, program highlights, and behind-the-scenes updates as we build a stronger network of organic chemists across British Columbia. We can’t wait to share what’s ahead!

📍 Squamish, BC
🧑‍🔬 Student-led | Community-focused | Collaboration-driven

We had a great time at Jackalope's Neighborhood Dive 🤘🏼🎸(Dr. Memo's favourite spot) celebrating our recent @J_A_C_S paper on the use of RAvIN Ketone building blocks for non-carbohydrate oligonucleotide synthesis!

Make sure to check it out ! https://t.co/dAZ8ZAnsUX

[The Parasram Lab @ParasramLab]

Check out what our lab and the @reiser_group stitched together contemporaneously. Both labs report a new olefination method via denitrative cross-coupling of readily accessible nitroalkanes on @ChemRxiv Parasram (image): https://t.co/h1d4v3Jj7L. Reiser: https://t.co/ZIZhKImj8M

[BrittonLab @BrittonLab]

We are thrilled to introduce "The RAvIN Platform" published in @J_A_C_S !!!🚨

This work features the efficient preparation of nucleosides in high enantiopurity (99.9% ee) and the first non-carbohydrate total synthesis of an oligonucleotide therapeutic.
